Welcome to the John A. Burns School of Medicine

JABSOM Graduate Spotlight

JABSOM gave me the invaluable opportunity to learn and serve amongst a population I hold dear. The concept of ‘ohana’ was integrated into every aspect of my educational journey. From PBL based learning–which enabled us to support and learn from one another–to serving in the local community, my ‘ohana’ grew and I in turn, developed as a person and a medical professional. Because of the foundation built at JABSOM, I am prepared to share quality care and the aloha spirit with my future patients at home in Hawaii, and abroad.David Niumatalolo, MD

JABSOM taught me not only how to be a compassionate, competent physician but also gave me the tools to grow as a life-long learner. The PBL curriculum and encouraging environment creates a culture of innovation and academic excellence that distinguishes it as a progressive leader in medical education. As I enter my dream residency, I’m confident and prepared to meet what challenges lie ahead.Jaclyn McLoughlin, MD
